The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling.

All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense.

Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need.

"I do think stopping Nigel Farage has to be a huge mission in this country, but the biggest way we can stop Nigel Farage is by people joining the Green Party right now. We are creating the actual alternative to this Labour government ready to take on Reform."

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

It's very simple.

The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money.

Not the people with hardly any money.

It really shouldn't need explaining.

Very very good letter in the FT magazine this morning pinpointing what humans definitely do when we “learn” and why machine
LLM “learning” isn’t that. (And also why LLMs take up so much more energy than we do for thinking.)

Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset Britain inch by inch'. But to what? Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

This is a clear-eyed breakdown of what’s really on offer ⤵️
Reform UK offers nostalgia, not solutions
Reform UK trades on national nostalgia – but behind the slogans lies regression, not renewal or reform

If our priveleged media class had half the empathy and knowledge and compassion as Zoe, we would be a totally different country, full of hope and decency.
Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.
